Snow and More Snow

We've had snow falling everyday for over a week now. This is the most amount of snow I've seen in my life. I'm sure we are well over 20 inches. Everyday hubby is out here shoveling and more shoveling. Daughter #1 has to get to work so hubby will dig her car out and then when she comes home from work, he's out there again digging her a spot to park.

DH harmed with two shovels, going down the road to rescue daughter #1. He has also been driving me to work and picking me up. Daughter #2 and her boyfriend had arrived on the ferry and so off DH goes again to pick them up. Since they were only staying 2 days before heading back home to have Christmas with her boyfriends parents, hubby was again driving, a 1 hour trip took 4 hours. I'm sure he just about had enough.

Our front of our house.

The snow just keeps getting deeper and deeper. A week ago we didn't have a flake of snow.

I had to tromp through the back yard, snow higher than my knees. Yes I got snow in my boots but I really wanted to get this picture of the icicle, the biggest I've seen. Hubby yelled out "don't you get stuck because I'm not coming to dig you out". Lucky for me I made it through the snow on my own.

DH trying to decided what's the best strategy to dig my car out. We have a garage but we got stuck several times trying to get down the back lane....not going to happen with so much snow.

I walked down to Safeway and by the time I was through the check out he was there to give me a ride home. I have the sweetest hubby, he's been so good at getting the car out almost every day.

Here we are after all the gifts have been opened. Daughter #1 is not a morning person still in her jammies. Can you see the sock monkey daughter #2 is holding, she made that for me and boy is it ever so cute, the monkey even has thumbs and pants too.

We had twenty inches last weekend -Friday through Sunday. We have had 20 or more in one storm - unfortunately!! MY DH is like yours - digs us out, drives me around to make it easier. I appreciate those things so much!

I loved seeing the picture of all of you!! So nice to 'meet' you like that. Have a wonderful weekend!!

Great family photo! Love the fact that on Christmas morning photos with jammies (and in the case of my lot) bed hair, are allowed! Wow....your hubby will be super fit with all the snow shovelling! Fantastic that he looks after you all so well! The snow looks so pretty....I guess you are sick of it but thanks for sharing the pics - no snow here even in winter!

Oh, it was so nice to see you with your family! Your poor husband and all that snow! WOW....I keep telling you brrrrrr BUT must admit seeing your home covered in snow is beautiful....yes, even the hazardous icicle.

Oh my, that is a lot of snow for yous in B.C.,not usually that white..lol,,,soryy we out here just had to share some of it..but the weather has be a little weird this winter... hope you get better weather soon,,,happy stitching..PS love the sock monkey

I wish we could have snow here too!! Today is like a spring day here, a lot of sunshine but yet it's cold outside.I see you've spend a great time with your family! We had also a wonderful christmas time but it was gone so quickly.

What a nice family picture! That hubby of yours is an expert at snow removal, that's a lot of snow! Yikes! I can't even imagine, we get a little rain down here in Southern California and you'd think it was the end of the world! Cute sock monkey! I love the pants!

You know, Wendy, I think you actually got a little more than we did down here! And today we are beginning to see patches of grass! What a relief. I'm sure Mr. Squash and your hubby could trade good snow shoveling stories!Also - such a nice picture of your family!Cheers!

I think the weather has gone nuts. You've got some serious snow there sister. I know we've had the most snow already this year than we've had in the 8 years we've lived at this house. It's crazy and makes me wonder what lies ahead for the rest of winter. I love the picture of your darling family - thank you for sharing that.
